Sure would be nice to properly support LPT ports again for my ancient support responsibilities.

No more blue screen during startup and shutdown due to poor system integration of ndis.sys.

Is VMWARE about to follow the path of Silicon Graphics and it's impressive dive over the cliff?.

I imagine there is some financial or marketing person in charge of development and testing that has broken the company's will to live, can't you just enable your developers?.

Just basic functionality of my VM's, I no longer hold out hope that it will become its glorious past.

now what? I'm so fed up, I cringe when there is an update to workstation, as I keep holding out hope that it is better tested in the next version, but nope, just more broken.

Anyone else really irritated this week with the last update make a BSOD mess out of windows yet again? How the heck am I gonna get this working again, can't install without blue screen. Really, I'd happily pay $500 every six months for VMware workstation if it worked as well as VMWARE 12 did. What I'd give to go back to VMware 12, I think that is the last time everything worked mostly properly? I'm just venting right now - pay this no mind. C'mon hold it together another 11 years if you can. I'm gonna have to join the VMware employee discord server to really know what is holding the group together and what kind of leaks are in the pipes of the organization. VMware-workstation-full-16.2.5-20904516 <-I do not want to spend hours looking through forums on how to fix this so all works again. And as I've said, Win7 圆4 also without issues and only minimal (typical virtual machine) lag, gpu acceleration and aero theme enabled.ĭear god, I need to vent. Windows 98 is fine, the sound is crystal clear without any lag, with no additional adjustemts whatsoever. For now the sound on XP-VMs seems to be broken no matter what I do, at least with my setup and Hyper-V enabled. I've also tried the Set Kernel Timer Service from github, as well as the eSoundLib = 'FALSE' entry in the. I've removed the fix from the startup but that doesn't produce any change when it comes to the sound being distorted and slow. exe but since I've upgraded to 16 the fix doesn't work anymore. I used to fix sound on XP VMs with the Audio Fix Tray. However, now I'm back to an old problem: The issue with Sound in Windows XP (SP3). Which is great work from the VMWare Dev Team btw, I'm absolutely impressed. Now with the new version and side channel mitigations disabled it is now highly responsive again. And while it somehow 'worked' to run it aside, my VMs were extremely sluggish, especially Win7 圆4. I've just switched from 15.5.7 to 16.2.1 because I need to use WSL2.
